In reply to shoaib. Hi Shoaib A long standing fungal infection, especially if it is severe and you are scratching the area a lot, can cause discoloration of the skin. Usually it should not be prominent within just 3 months and should appear like a dark brown discoloration (hyperpigmentation). I would advise that you get this purple colored rash looked at by a doctor. This could also be related to any topical applications (cream/gel) that you are used.

santh,

residual discoloration may last for weeks or months after the infection has healed. Various ointments to speed up full recovery are available – a dermatologist can help you.

I had jock itch very badly for awhile. I tried all the medications but couldnt seem to shake it. I saw on something that garlic was a good treatment. I took garlic pills for about 2 weeks and everything cleared up. Since then, if it seems I am having a flare up, I take the garlic pills and everything is fine.

In reply to azzam. azzam, a dermatologist can explain you what exactly has happened, and how can be treated.

i had jock itch 5 years ago. the itch had disappeared 2 years back, but the skin around the affected area (inner thigh of both legs, and buttocks) is hyperpigmented (black in colour). can my skin return to its normal colour?
